Oleandra werneri
Content

In Malesia: Moluccas, New Guinea; Vanuatu.
Notes
1. As with O. neriiformis, rhizome morphology is probably more complicated than can be inferred from the mostly aerial unbranching parts making up most of the collected material.
2. Hairiness is very variable, and while there is no sharp distinction between hairy and glabrous forms, it is noteworthy that hairy forms tend to occur at especially the western extreme of the distribution area, with less hairy forms near the eastern extreme, and glabrous forms mostly on the mainland of New Guinea.
